Abstract
The two-photon absorption, 2PA, cross sections of PbS quantum dots, QDs, are theoretically and experimentally investigated and are shown to be enhanced with increasing quantum confinement. This is in contrast to our previous results for CdSe and CdTe QDs where the reduced density of states dominated and resulted in a decrease in 2PA with a decrease in QD size. Qualitatively this trend can be understood by the highly symmetric distribution of conduction and valence band states in PbS that results in an accumulation of allowed 2PA transitions in certain spectral regions. We also measure the frequency nondegenerate 2PA cross sections that are up to five times larger than for the degenerate case. We use a k·p four-band envelope function formalism to model the increasing trend of the two-photon cross sections due to quantum confinement and also due to resonance enhancement in the nondegenerate case.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
